Chapter 156

156 Escaping to City E

Of course, if Dr. Dall knew who was talking about him, he might have applied to have more bodyguard to protect him from that rascally brat Kyle.

The Black Group talked a bit more before they went back to their respective tent to have some rest. By this point, they were all very tired and had no intention to stay awake anymore.

Thud!

Lying on the bed, Kyle lightly caressed the cat who was sleeping right beside him. His blue eyes flashed with unknown light before he closed it again.

...

The next day, the people started to walk. With the soldiers guarding, they were not too anxious. But still, many people couldn’t help but thinking about their future and what would happen to them without any proper place to stay.

When they were in City B, they felt safe. And seeing the people who had to wait outside, they had been half laughing at them and half pity.

Now, they were in the same situation.

Where should they go?

.....

They all could only walk forward without knowing where their destination is. With the soldiers around, they felt a bit safer, but they still didn’t know for sure about where they were going to go next.

“I hope we all can stay in City E and somehow rebuilt it for the people to live.” Jake sighed when he saw the huge number of people in front of them.

“Meow.”

Kate had a lot of food in her space, but if they had to feed hundred thousands of people, even she had to raise her hand in defeat. They would need to rebuilt the city and figured out a way for them to survive this time.

Some giant mutated animals could be eaten, so this might be the staple food for some days in the future.

“It’s too bad that if the two strongest people in our group were to make their move, there wouldn’t be any food left.” Lotte sighed.

Kyle rolled his eyes. “Little Kitty, did you keep some of the corpses that they killed that could be eaten?”

“Meow.”

Kate was also quite picky. She definitely not going to put those giant mutated rats or ants from before. No matter how much bigger they looked like after mutation, she could never imagine herself eating their meat. Because of that, Kate selectively picked some that she knew that she could possibly stomach.

“Are there no other animals?” Lotte asked before she translated what Kate said to others.

“Meow.”

Kate honestly didn’t want to keep those wild cats because she herself is a cat now. But seeing that these giant mutated cats were still within the limit of animals that could possibly be eaten, she just took them into her space.

Anyway, even if they didn’t eat it, they could give it to others.

“Right, cat also mutated.” Lotte nodded.

Marc had a strange expression as he looked at Kate because he didn’t expect that this little cat is actually daring enough to eat another cat. But it seemed that she only meant that she kept their bodies inside her space and not eating them.

“How about insects?” Jake was curious.

“Meow.”

Kate would never want to keep those giant mutated insects inside her space. She didn’t want to eat them and had no intention of even keeping them for sale. Anyway, most of them were already burned to death by Kyle, so it would be impossible to eat them.

“Maybe I should learn how to control the temperature so that we can eat these giant mutated animals without having to cook them again after killing them.” Kyle nodded to himself. That sound like a good idea.

“Are you sure that you can cook these giant mutated animals while fighting them?” Jake was laughing heartily. He didn’t expect that his friend would have such a courageous and novel idea. No one but him would dare to do something like that.

“I just think that it’s interesting.”

The others shook their head.

Yes, it was interesting, but they didn’t want to lose their lives yet by attempting such a risky move. Anyway, they knew that the only one who could try it in their group was Kyle because of his fire ability and the others could not even try to attempt it.

They didn’t even want to try attempting it either way.

With the soldiers protecting this group of people, the journey was relatively smooth. And on the way, Kyle even advanced to rank 6 in his fire element after blasting countless giant mutated animals into ashes.

The others only felt that the destructive power of the fire element was too strong.

Though, the others were actually also very strong. But they would never end up in the same situation as Kyle where the giant mutated animals would not even have any corpses left.

This had become their daily ridicule.

Not only Kyle, the others also advanced in minor rank. Even Lotte and Marc managed to reach rank 5 with the help of the gem and crystals. Only Robby was still in rank 4 and the poor dog had to compete for resources with Jake.

The two of them would try to use their crystals as fast as possible and asked for more from Kate. They didn’t want their resources to be taken by the other party.

Thus, the daily competition between dog and human started.

“Little Kitty, I have already used up my crystal! Let me have more!” Jake raised his hand after he had used up his crystals and wanted to ask for more.

“Meow.”

“Wang! Wang!”

“Meow!”

“Wang! Wang!”

“Meow!”

Thus, Kate slapped Robby away. The two of them were clearly just messing around, but in the eyes of the other members, it was very cute.

“The two of them got along so well.” Lotte laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. The daily doses of funny scene would definitely come from these two. The cat and dog really couldn’t get along so well.

But the reason why they couldn’t get along was mostly because of Robby’s naughtiness.

Anyway, the two of them were really cute.

Marc nodded. “It’s good that Robby have other friends.

The two of them were resting and saw Kyle suddenly walked to the two of them. After that, he simply picked Kate up and walked away, leaving Robby barking.

“Wang! Wang! Wang!”

Marc and Lotte laughed until their stomach was hurt.

On the other hand, Kyle rolled his eyes at the dog and simply carried Kate away. He did think that seeing these two (Jake and Robby) competed was good because it meant that they would be able to advance faster.

But seeing Robby ended up bothering Kate, he decided to step in and brought his cat away. There was no way he would let the dog bothered his little cat. Hmph!

“Meow.”

Kate patted Kyle’s cheek as if saying that he shouldn’t look so scary. Seeing the little cat who didn’t know anything and still keep on teasing him, Kyle felt helpless. He wanted to know what she was saying, but it would be hard.

As they walked away, Jake returned and clicked his tongue. Seeing how Kyle was still very overprotective of Kate, he could imagine that it would definitely be worse in the future. “Dylan, have you ever thought of seeing Kyle being so possessive like this?”

“No.”

Dylan had also watched Kyle and saw Kyle’s action. Even though it was clear that both the dog and cat was only playing around without any real intention to attack each other, Kyle still chose to pick Kate away.

It seemed as if he didn’t have any intention to leave her alone in the slightest bit.

“Tsk, you can actually say that you already thought that it’ll be that way when he found a woman for him.” Jake rolled his eyes. “Did you forget how much you two pushed me around when I met with Lotte for the first time.”

Dylan arched his eyebrows. “Different.”

Jake patted Dylan’s shoulder. “I’m sure that he’ll be similar. At least, it’ll be impossible for him to be so generous and let his woman stay with other people.”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s go and train again. I’m not going to lose to that dog!”

“Fight.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know we’re busy fighting because these giant mutated animals are attacking us, but I can say that we’re also training, right?” Jake rambled on.

Days passed.

After several days of walking, they eventually reached City E ruins and many people heaved a sigh of relief. They could finally settle down even though the place was not exactly ideal.
